We had this thread last year but no one's created one for 2019 so far, so here it is. I'm currently obsessed with this Weyes Blood album that came out last week. Hadn't heard of her before, but this is phenomenal. And the cover is gorgeous as well:

Um, pretty rough 2019, disappointing album from the great Bob Mould to my ears, and no new original Regrettes music yet to bring out the teen pop in pacinoyes musical taste. But best of the year so far, Sleaford Mods funny as fnck and righteously pissed off "Of course we're fnckin relevant" ....indeed.
A hilarious parody of dance music that makes you want to dance too and as always on the right side of everything all the time .....always on the side of the working class dontchaknow.

I posted this somewhere else but might as well add it here to be consistent since we have a 2019 thread. They made one of my very favorite albums of 2018 and I expect this to be a top 10 single this year too.......every note they play is like hearing early REM crossed with The Go-Betweens crossed with the vibe of 1985.

Viced ; Mattsby - "This situation seems perverse" (I think that is the lyric) - it's kind of amazing he never wrote that line before huh

Tacocat returns in 2019 sounding less punky more poppy........... less clever, less pissed off but more complex arangements.....songs lasting almost 4 minutes now..........hmmmmmm.
Mix this with their previous stuff you'd really be on to something. I wonder if they still hate the weekend.......

Mike Krol, making music that sounds cool in that Strokes way but not in that too obvious Strokes way........but enough so you know he really really likes the Strokes and he's cool enough to make the Strokes sound somewhat Pixies-ish and not at all like Queen/Elton John/etc.......God Bless Him, because 80% of the trick is having the right influences yanno......

In the 2010's the musical black hole for Rock and Roll has hit its pathetic low point.......but Ty Segall is maybe the very best artist of this whole 10+ year low point, in this genre.
Like Jack White - he's a one man industry by himself, but also like Guided By Voices he records way too much, doesn't edit very well, and releases too much so he already has a billion records - where to start!?!...that's how bad this decade is when no one else stands out really.
But........here's his new song - a rather horrific (funny!) 70s slasher video where he also murders dancing. You can almost sense something "bigger" coming maybe - one of 2019's most anticipated albums later this Summer because the time feels right to breakthrough (sorta) for him and Rock music. He clearly plays "Rock" that is not "Dad rock" (shudder) but actually at times pushes the genre forward ..............and at times gloriously does not because as a genre it's still you know, pretty great.

New single in their endless supply of power pop like this. Like Lydia Night suggested she's listening to the The Replacements and Strokes but she hears it like a teen - differently and mostly wonderfully.
The title evokes I Will Dare, the music evokes the Strokes gone Bay City Rollers. The whole thing is so sugary sweet your teeth might fall out. The video is so color coded your eyes may go blind (note the sock color matches someone else's outfit), the choreography is so bad it's kinda genius and when she winks at you before saying "I Dare You" well.....its so sugary sweet your teeth may fall out. Again.

The Regrettes new album How Do You Love? comes out August 9!!! I Dare You is real good and she does pop on camera... I think she's gonna take your advice Pac and dabble in acting, sooner or later, I mean her bf is a pretty famous actor, she's casually friends with like Ryan Gosling......
alsoooo... New single from Spoon...

Half the year gone.....um, and it's not good ........unless you're from Canada (Pup), Australia (RBCF) or the UK (Sleaford Mods), etc. Also from The UK - for TheAlwaysClassy and Deceit who iirc were Fall fans which this song evokes - not sure if this was posted in another thread maybe? But 2019 is looking so weak we might as pad this thread anyway because how many 2019 songs make you want to grab a beer and start telling people to slag off.

black midi - Schlagenheim
This album is entrenched as one of the most divisive of 2019, which side do you come down on?

black midi - Schlagenheim
This album is entrenched as one of the most divisive of 2019, which side do you come down on? Good post - we don't talk about music enough in this way. I think they're a far more important band than a good band - it's not for me - but that's sort of their appeal too - to be into that band is a secret password to what they represent almost aside from songs. Usually there are two kinds of music - good or bad..............but there are 2 kinds of good - music that challenges the ear or music that pleases the ear. black midi not only challenge the ear but they challenge the cultural history of Rock itself - so if you're into that - tearing down that structure - they become your band in a way the Talking Heads (one of the bands they maybe evoke) were. The problem is anyone inclined to like Rock music is inclined to like the totality of it - not restructure it - in all its less appealing qualities - sexism, lad culture etc. and Talking Heads you know had lots of hooks ........black midi not so much. The "pop" aspect in their Rock is missing entirely. In 2019 there are for the first time in a long while bands making music that pleases the ear and they're good too - in this thread Fontaines D.C. are a jump up and down new band I'd say........but they're not a "ground zero" band - you can blow them off if you've heard The Fall why listen to a new Fall?...........but black midi is a ground zero band and a hard one to get into or understand why we need that now - often times a band like them change the course of music - as David Bowie so famously said "it doesn't matter who did it first, it matters who did it second" - there's a second black midi coming I reckon. I don't think listening to the band is actually enough to get what they do either - if you see them play live that's what I think people respond to ..........the way they go about creating that sound.

Song of the year as far as I can tell ......lyrics of the year at least:
And I blame society For poisoning the seed That grew the vilest tree So we could be its leaves

RIP David Berman (Silver Jews, Purple Mountains) I just listened to his new album a couple of days ago so this came as a huge blow. A great songwriter in the vein of Bill Callahan, Jason Molina.

RIP. This isn't a new song but is my favorite of his and the Silver Jews - he's not for everybody but I was always a fan and admirer and any Pavement fan would be too.

Anyone listen to the new CRX? Probably my second favorite release of the year so far after Peter Perrett's Humanworld. Strong '80s-ish vibe and more consistent than their debut.

Rock and roll - heck pop music in general was never dangerous - not really. But Iggy Pop was truly dangerous - to his audience, to himself and to his bandmates.
This song "James Bond" - which flirts with being a novelty seems dangerous because he's singing gibberish and smiling - almost laughing - throughout it and because James Bond was never really dangerous either. Save the day baby.....
